Oin and Gloin Revealed

Yahoo! Movies has posted another character image from The Hobbit to join the previous release of Nori, Ori and Dori. This one depicts two more dwarfs, this time John Callen (Oin) and Peter Hambleton (Gloin) in full makeup and costume. Below is the pic and the description for it.

Distant cousins of Thorin Oakenshield, these two doughty Northern Dwarves join the Company out of a sense of loyalty to their kin, and also because they have a substantial sum of money invested in the venture. Along with Bombur, Gloin is the only other married Dwarf in the Company (there being a shortage of female dwarves in general). His wife is an acclaimed beauty with a particularly fine beard. Gloin is the proud father of a young son, Gimli, who will go on to become part of the famous Fellowship of the Ring.
